EARTHQUAKE / TSUNAMI RELIEF FUND FOR JAPAN 2011
Have you seen our Bridge of Friendship? If not, why not come in to the centre, make a donation and write a message for the people in Japan affected by the earthquake and tsunami? We are trying to cover our bridge in messages and raise as much money as possible to help our friends.
On Friday, March 11, 2011 at 2:46pm a tremendous earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 struck the Tohoku region of Japan. This earthquake was followed by a tsunami, which quickly destroyed whole towns and left total devastation in its path.
To date it is feared that more than 21,000 people have lost their lives in this horrific event. Thousands more have been left homeless.
The Hyogo Cultural Centre Bridge of Friendship is a symbolic representation of the strong bond between Western Australia and Japan.
We invite all visitors to make a gold coin donation to the Earthquake / Tsunami relief fund for Japan 2011. For each donation, please write your name and message on a sticker and attach it to the bridge. Our aim is to start at Western Australia and hopefully cover the entire bridge with donations reaching all the way to Japan.
All donations will be transferred to the Red Cross Japan Appeal.
Your support, cooperation, and generosity in this appeal is greatly appreciated.
